O2 can't match offer to stay with O2????

[KimTomlin]

I have always been with O2 (Cellnet) I am coming to the end of my contract term 12/03 O2 text me saying my plan will go down from £17.48 to £15, I did an online search and look around as you do and found a contract for £6 with O2 (through U switch), So I went in shop and explained about the text offer from O2 and the online offer with O2  the assistants blood drained from his face as I asked about £6 offer, he said best he could do was £12 (so why £15 in the text). I said 'Then O2 have done a deal with U Switch so that I can get a deal on O2 at half price, so U Switch can take O2 customers away from O2 but still be using the O2 network' the assistant thought for a few seconds and said 'YES' 

BONKERS

I would prefer to stay with O2 but not to pay an extra £6 a month for privilege. (But if I take U Switch offer I will be staying with O2..............Mind Blown)

Just go with USwitch. They just pass it through to O2 so you are still with them. and you can then migrate your present number across if you wish.

There are a few of us, including me, that work that way

If you take up the uSwitch offer, you will still be with O2, if that is what the offer says - billing and myo2 etc all remain as now, @KimTomlin 

Or have I misunderstood something?

See my earlier answer to someone else here:

@KimTomlin USwitch can offer a lower tariff because they don't have the overheads that O2 has, such as physical shops where the O2 shop assistant is giving you what he can but has to follow the protocol that he's told to. Follow the advice from @pgn and @Enlli. You're losing nothing by taking the USwitch offer.
